Indianapolis, IN – Drivers across central Indiana are dealing with light to locally moderate snowfall Friday afternoon as snow showers continue moving through the region, creating brief visibility reductions and slick travel in spots.
According to the National Weather Service Indianapolis, widespread flurries with isolated heavier snow showers are impacting much of central Indiana, including Marion County and the Indianapolis metro area. While most locations are expected to receive only a few tenths of an inch of snow, some localized areas—especially on the west side of the Indy metro—have already seen heavier bursts.
Traffic cameras along I-65 and I-465 showed snow-covered lanes and reduced visibility at times, particularly during heavier snow bands. Forecasters say these brief visibility restrictions may continue for several more hours as snow showers move through the area.
The National Weather Service reports total snowfall accumulations will generally remain under half an inch, though isolated spots could approach that amount. Winds between 10 and 15 mph may also cause blowing snow, briefly reducing visibility for motorists during heavier snow showers.
Temperatures remain cold enough for snow to accumulate on untreated roads, bridges, and overpasses, especially during heavier bursts. Drivers are urged to slow down, increase following distance, and allow extra time for afternoon travel.
Snow activity is expected to gradually taper later today, though lingering flurries and slick conditions may persist into the evening commute in some locations.
Residents are encouraged to monitor local forecasts and road conditions, particularly if traveling across central Indiana this afternoon.
